Question 345 in the bank

Who is permitted to summon a vehicle to undergo a technical examination?

  1. A Municipal Inspector, an employee of the Public Works Department, and a policeman carrying a policeman certificate.
  2. Correct answer: An examiner of the Licensing Authority as well as a policeman carrying a traffic examiner certificate.
  3. Any manager of a licensed garage.
  4. The Director of the Standardization Department in the Israel Bureau of Standards.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: An examiner of the Licensing Authority as well as a policeman carrying a traffic examiner certificate.

Only people trained and authorised to judge a vehicle's roadworthiness may summon it for a technical examination: an examiner of the Licensing Authority, or a policeman carrying a traffic examiner certificate. An ordinary policeman with only a police certificate, a municipal inspector, a garage manager or a Standards Institute official has no such power. The summons ensures that a vehicle suspected of being faulty is checked and found fit for the road.
